How to used JMWE Link issues to the current issue post-function

[Tyas Iglecias]

Hi Guys,

I Have 3 Issue type

issuetype A can triger create Issuetype B and C

the resuld is issuetype can be linked issue A-B and A-C

what I want automate link issue B-C because,  if issue B changed status to drop, issue C change to Drop too.

I try to used JMWE Link issues to the current issue post-function in workflow B

and input 

Issues to link

JQL expression : issuetype = "C"

after I test it,

Workflow issue B linked to issue C but not from issue C in same project where is it made

the question is, how to make specific project in JMWE-JQL?

Hi @Tyas Iglecias 

How are you creating issues B and C? If you're using a JMWE Create Issues post function, then you can refer to

Hi @David Fischer 

Thanks for the reference,

I used JMWE for create Issue B and C 
if Issuetype A created, it triger JMWE for creating Issuetype B and C
and it make link Issue A-B and A-C

what I need to make automate Link issue B-C

B and C create at same time

Hi Tyas,

if we assume that your current Iterator is something like:

[
  {
    "summary":"Issue B"
  },
  {
    "summary":"Issue C"
  }
]

which you use to create two issues, each with a different summary.

You can update the iterator to this:

[
  {
    "summary":"Issue B"
  },
  {
    "summary":"Issue C",
    "issueLinks": [
      {"linkName":"blocks","toIssue":1}
    ]
  }
]

This will automatically link issue C to issue B through the "blocks" link type direction.

Hi @David Fischer ,

thanks for your information

like I discribe in my first question, I have 3 Issuetype (All of it different type)

but I thinks you assume B and C in same Issuetype,

I assume, that you are using : Create issue(s) post-function

and  "Summary" in your script is from this one? (CMIIW)

And, issuetype A trigger create 2 another issue B and C ( same issuetype) with different summary


but mine is that Issuetype A can create Issuetype B and Issuetype C ( for now I can Create this by JMWE) and what I need to do is automatic to link an issuetype B and  issuetype C.

Hi @Tyas Iglecias 

what I described works - you can create both issues using a single Create Issue(s) post-function, by selecting "Calculated" as the Issue Type, with this value:

{{it.issueType}}

and as the iterator, use:

[
  {
    "summary":"Issue B",
    "issueType":"Issue type for B"
  },
  {
    "summary":"Issue C",
    "issueType":"Issue type for C"
    "issueLinks": [
      {"linkName":"blocks","toIssue":1}
    ]
  }
]

 and for the Summary field, use

{{it.summary}}

Hi @David Fischer 

thanks for the script

I follow your guide,

 

but, I get error

I try some condition for solving missing Issuetype from

https://innovalog.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/JMWEC/pages/1110605827/Advanced+configuration+and+usage+of+the+Create+issue+s+post-function#Link-newly-created-issues

example :

{{ issue.fields.issuetype.name }}

{{ issue.fields.issuetype.name == "Story" }}

please help find what is missing

Hi @Tyas Iglecias ,

sorry, I forgot to mention that, since the iterator script returns a JSON object, you need to check the "Iterator returns JSON" option.

Best,

David

@David Fischer 

I have question,

How to link multiple issue with JMWE using iteration?

Example:

1. Creation of Issue A triggers creation of issue B, issue C, and issue D.  Issue A is linked to Issue B, Issue C, and issue D.
2. However, issue B is only linked to issue A and issue C. And, issue D is only linked to issue A and Issue C.
3. We want for issue B to link to all issue.  And same for Issue C and issue D, it should be linked to all issue

can you help me? 

[David Fischer]

@Rizky.Tuasikal did you read the documentation I shared earlier, and the example above?
